Intro

Verse

 Yeah I'm stealing cigarettes Selling them off to friends for rent

 Plus a paycheck and still in debt I'm asking, how could it be?

 I know they know I'm beneath them Even homeless assholes know my name

 Now it's Urban Flight or cell for the night Y'know it's all the same

Pre-chorus

 One can tell themselves About when going gets tough

 But determination Just ain't enough

 When over-time defines your life

Chorus

 This American Me

 This American Me

Verse 2

same as first):

Tradition tells us home own But the timecards saying no go

 Now the suits are talking foreclose From sea to shining sea

 Time was a war time economy Was a silver lining to tragedy

 But even those with homes are now those alone In the land of the free

 I asked for nothing And I got it in spades

Worked for a living and I earned a cage

 Now they say I look old for my age

 This American me

 This American me

I'm pretty sure that's right. Feel free to correct if not!
